Hi noahnoda. If you boot into your computers BIOS, what does your motherboards BIOS report for the CPU?

The FX series were not actual 4, 6, or 8 core CPU's. Did Windows 10 report the FX 6300 as a 6 core chip before?

What does CPU-Z show?

Then your CPU is showing up correctly and I wouldn't worry about what Task Manager says.
